A Pleasing Sacrifice (Heb. 13:7-25)

[Sung Psalm: 50]

Hebrews says that we are supposed to offer sacrifices to God. So, next week, who wants to bring the cow? Anyone got a goat? We'll probably need drop cloths to prevent the blood from getting on the carpet!

What does it mean when it says "let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name"!

"Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God."

The sacrificial system of the NT does not require the death of animals – but instead the putting to death of our own selfish desires.

The sacrifices that please God are the words and deeds that flow from the cross.

You can bring a sacrifice that will please God - but only because Jesus has offered the once-for-all sacrifice that has made us right with God...
